1. eLogmar-M project: WP6 – Training and Qualification Prof. Andrzej Dzielinski Warsaw University of Technology

2. Outline • D8 - Logistics education worldwide • Types of institutions involved • Universities and other HEIs • Education companies • Internationalprofessional bodies • Types of courses • Undergraduate • Postgraduate • Post-diploma • Short courses and distant learning • Current status, recommendations and future trends

3. Results of study in: higher school educational programmes, vocational training courses Internet / computer-based courses in transport, logistics and maritime applications. Structure of a modular course in transport logistics D8 - Training and Qualification

4. D8 – an overview of logistics education over the world. Covers 20 countries – over 170 courses EU: UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Ireland, Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden), Finland, Baltics (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia), Mediterranean (Greece), Poland, Hungary, EEA: Norway, Switzerland China USA and Canada Russia Logistics education worldwide

5. Undergraduate and postgraduate level Universities, other HEIs Post-diploma level Universities, other HEIs, education companies Training and short courses also distant learning, vocational training Educational companies, organisations, HEIs Logistics education worldwide

6. Institutions involved in education in logistics Public HEIs – University, University of Technology, Academy ofEconomy, scientific institutes e.g. IFF – Fraunhofer Geselschaft full courses, short courses, distant learning, some also vocational training both for profit and non-profit e.g. – Transport and Telecommunication Non-public (private) –Institute (Latvia), International High School of Logistics and Transport (Poland) - undergrads courses, short courses and distant learning Logistcs - subject in High Schools of management, business and economy, some international Educational companies - short courses, vocational training and distant learning

7. Logistics - at Universities of Technology MSc in Engineering (Transport, Automation and Robotics, Computer, Mechanical), Management, Economy, e.g. RTU, KUT, WUT, NTUA, TU Crete, Chalmers, Eindhoven, NTNU, DTU, Budapest UT, Cranfield, Newcastle, Alabama A&M, Arkansas, Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Shenzhen etc. Case study 1 – Warsaw University of Technology, Department of Transport Logistics - at Universities and Academies of Economy as part of studies in Management and Economy e.g. University of International Business and Economy (UIBE), SGH, OvG, AUEB) Case study 2- Warsaw Academy of Economics (SGH), Department of Management, Chair of Logistics, Specialisation – Logistic Management 3. Logistics is offered at some National Defence Academies – little is known (secret?) Details of logistics educations in public HEIs

8. Undegraduate level – general logistics, management logistics, services logistics Post-diploma courses – logistics of international supply chains, logistics system management (production, distribution, warehousing) Distant learning – all sorts of logistics related issues Vocational training – basic level Logistics education at non-public HEIs and educational companies

9. University based – usually general, post-diploma, longer (month, semester) Company based – specific, correlated with the needs of the company, shorter (day, week) Distant (e-, m-) learning – becoming more and more popular – a major means for short courses and vocational training of the future, timing not so critical (adaptive) Short courses and vocational training

10. Warsaw University of Technology, Department of Transport Specialisation: Logistics and transport techniques (LTT) Profiles: LTT in railway, LTT in road, LTT in maritime transport, LTT in internal transport & warehousing, LTT in multimodal transport Subjects: I year: General – Maths, Physics, CAD, Computer Science, Economy Subject-specific – Transport systems & processes, material eng. II year: General – Electrical eng., operational research, mechanical eng. Subject-specific – Transport infrastructure, logistics III year: General – Electronics, control, telecom., management… Subject specific – Traffic eng., advanced transport systems,… IV year: Subject specific: warehousing, cargo hadling, management &organisation, IT systems, modelling & simulation, electives,… Practical on-site training included – at least two one-month internships international ICT used throughout the studies – web-based (dual-mode), simulation-based Languages offered at every year of studies ! Sample logistics Curriculum

11. WP6 leader: WUT Tasks: 1)Education at universities – DONE Developing of a unified course structure in transport logistics in conjunction with universities consortium partners; - Analysis of computer-based training courses in transport logistics. 2) Training of specialists in maritime transport logistics – DONE AND IN PROGRESS Formulating requirements to the level of skills and knowledge; Demonstration and promotion of long-distance training course in logistics information systems; Demonstration and promotion of training equipment from FHG/IFF (Department of virtual development and training). WP6: Training – current status

12. Modern logistics education at any level should: be mixture of engineering, economy, management and social/political sciences include strong international flavour Languages Joint diploma and double diploma courses Internships in international companies adopt new ICT tools – e-learning, m-learning include practical on-site experience (also simulation) be flexible, adaptive, continuous, life-long experience Recommendations

13. In both developed and developing countries,the Internet will provide the only viable cost-effectivemeansthrough which corporations and educational institutions will be able to provide access to ongoing opportunities for the continuing professional development of working individuals. Recommendations

14. Logistics education – major issue for universities, organisations and companies all over the world Traditional economy – production focused Knowledge economy – research, marketing, trade focused Internet based learning Continuing education Life-long education Education society Conclusions

15. Full undergrad and postgrad Internet based studies – major or additional Technological breakthrough and still more to come University education for all Education becomes one of major driving forces in global economy Diversification of educational offer Future trends
